These practical aspects of the course are supported with classes in Screen Language, Specialist Workshops, Elective Specialisations and 'Meet the Filmmaker' with special guest screenings and discussions.

(average 20 hours per week)
After completing Semester One, students have the opportunity to explore further aspects of filmmaking with longer specialist workshops. Each student also makes their own 'Thesis Film', supported to find their individual creative voice. Through our practical focus we help students master skills under real production conditions that will give them the confidence to find a place in this industry.

The school supplies all the equipment and budgets for the projects.

Every film and documentary from Semesters One and Two are taken through to final completion and is publicly screened at the end of semester Sydney Film School Festival at a major Sydney Cinema. It is our belief that deadlines and audiences are of vital importance.
